If you haven't checked out Google's new browser Chrome, go and grab a copy.

It's light years faster than FF/ie when working in the Umbraco Admin area due to them re-writing the Javascript VM. I just about fell off my chair at the speed increase!

Have a read of their dev comic here

You can download the beta from http://www.google.com/chrome/index.html?hl=en&brand=CHMG&utm_source=en-hpp&utm_medium=hpp&utm_campaign=en

I have noticed that there are a few small bits that don't work, right click (context) menus, setting up properties on doc types etc. But for general editing of content etc its brilliant.

Yes it is fast - but I have noticed that IE8 doesnt work well with Chrome. But IE7 works just fine. :) I love this - and whats more you can open an app within it. If I wanted to go to my hotmail - it would tell me I would need to upgrade and offer me three choices, IE, FF, or Opera (I think) and then I click on IE and presto my hotmail opens up within it. *Its weird never seen a browser do such thing* :) But overall it rocks so far.

@Silverbug... if you right-click on the node name's link, rather than it's associated icon you'll get the popup menu in umbraco v3. I didn't have any problems making doctype properties, though, using umbraco v3.0.5.

cheers,
doug.

Google's Chrome already has security flaws exposed.

Same old emperor, same old clothes and yet another bloody browser I have to test on. Google can stick it.

There are some concerns about the Chrome raised by among others ReadWriteWeb:

Does Google Have Rights to Everything You Send Through Chrome?

Not sure if I'm too concerned myself, but the EULA looks a bit "interesting"... ;)
